- How do I represent a divorce?
- Question
- I want to indicate that two people are divorced, yet Gramps does not have a Relationship type of Divorced. How do I represent this?
- Answer
- Divorced is not a relationship type. Instead, it is an event status that terminates the relationship. If two people are divorced, it does not change the fact that they had a relationship type of Married. Divorce, like Death, is one way in which a marriage is terminated. Just as when widowed the death of a spouse does not change the fact that two people were married, a divorce does not change the fact that two people were married.
Other Civil or Marital Status possibilities are:
- Single
- Married
- Divorced
- Widowed
